She hasn’t been layed off yet but, yea, only a matter of time…

One of my close friends got her doctorate last year and recently hired as a scientist at EPA. She is improving methods of surveying urban soils using remote methods like ground penetrating radar, this helps to inform landowners/potential developers the true conditions of the soil they are building on. A shame the government doesn’t think that’s important anymore.
It is actually incredible how even the most bipartisan bills are getting axed, like the CHIP act. I always knew he loathed Obama-Biden so much he would cancel any and everything they did but, man, it’s just sad to see he doesn’t have an ounce of decency.
Thanks for this advice! Other comments are helpful for long term movement building but I want to know what can be effective immediately. I am looking at buying a printer because I don’t have an easy way to print any material.
Also don’t live anywhere requiring a bridge crossing or an island. That said I live on Long Island within eyeshot of Statue of Liberty. I’ve accepted my fate
Yea I get that, and explaining its usefulness will fall on deaf GOP ears, but for the record It’s not even hazardous waste…it’s the urban soils that tend to have a lot of organic carbon content from all the living shit and garbage used as backfill especially in east coast cities. Standard protocols for direct soil sampling don’t consider carbon as much as they should and also remote methods (like GPR) don’t measure total organic carbon. Not high stakes research but important to get a full picture of the soils on a building site.
